The Challenge

Batching and long changeovers created bottlenecks and inconsistent quality.

Our Approach

  • Time-and-motion study and constraint analysis
  • Cell layout, Kanban, and WIP limits to smooth flow
  • SMED workshops to standardise and reduce changeovers

Solution

Flow redesign and standard work with simple visual controls delivered measurable throughput gains without capital spend.
